Nicole Y. McClam is fumbling her way through as an MFA candidate in Dance while also pursuing her studies in the Laban Certification Program at the University of Maryland; introducing students to the awesomeness of dance as an adjunct at Howard Community College; and bouncing to and fro as a founding member of B3W Performance Group based in Queens, NY. Her own work has been presented in Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD and Brooklyn, NY. She has lived in the DC area since 2001 where she was a long time member of Deborah Riley Dance Projects. Prior to that she apprenticed with Pennsylvania Dance Theater for their 2000-2001 season where she had the pleasure of performing works by Ben Munisteri and Claire Porter. She graduated from East Carolina University with a BFA in Dance Performance and a BA in Chemistry.
